While speeding is likely the cause of this accident, I wonder how easy it is to lose control of a 900HP+ car while driving and obeying speed limits. From most articles I've read about super/hyper cars, the amount of power and lightweight chassis, a driver could easily lose control of a car especially on bad surfaces.
Anyone can chime in? |

With regards to the super car thing the first thing I thought of was Paul walker in the Porsche. I remember back in the late 90's my friends dad had a brand new Porsche Carrera 4? Or something like that. He had to take courses on how to drive it properly. We took it out one day and it was a very humbling experience. And that car is nowhere in mclaren p1 territory. So I can only imagine |

Was that in a 25mph zone? Hard to believe the car would be impounded for only going 62mph unless it was in a 25
